What happens after you’re a success?
After you’ve climbed the highest mountain?
After you’ve won the championship?
After you’ve made the billion dollars?
After you received all the accolades?
What do you do next?
It’s not uncommon to hear ‘successful’ people speak about being depressed or unfulfilled even though they’ve reached certain goals in their life.
They thought reaching the goal would fill a void, or perhaps make them more complete.
But it didn’t.
So while you’re out pursuing your goals, realize that you shouldn’t use your goal to fill a hole in yourself. Because, if that’s your view then essentially what you’re saying is that without the external goal, you are incomplete. And that’s where the feelings of being unfulfilled come from.
Realize that you are already complete, and learn to pursue your goals for the sheer pleasure of the pursuit.
